As an American, why would I want a level playing field? Every country works to make things to their own advantage and I don't see why the US can't do the same. Are you also cool with him "leveling the playing field" for terrorists?
As for awareness, every one of the ECHELON countries was already aware of the vast majority of these capabilities.
Just because I criticize Snowden it somehow makes me an NSA lover? I haven't praised the NSA one fucking time. Come back when you're capable of thinking rationally.
lol...I don't know what country you're from but they stopped doing that a long time ago. Fortunately, they make up for it by letting me know all the ins and out of the fabulous lives of the Kardashians.
Actually, I never denied any such thing and I challenge you to prove me wrong. You're trying to put words into my mouth. In any event, thanks for quitting the conversation because you're clearly incapable of forming rational arguments.
"a whistleblower to does not let illegal and immoral acts continue is NOT the one at fault."
Except for the fact he's not a whistle-blower. Whistle-blowers only expose illegal activity. He exposed every piece of secret information he could get his hands on regardless of whether it's illegal or not. It would be like a bank employee who not only exposes illegal activity at a bank he works at but all of their internal strategy documentation. That's wrong and so is what Snowden did. It's called being a traitor.
As for your bootlicker accusation..I guess anyone who expresses a different opinion than yours is some kind of bootlicker or troll. Once again, everything I said was completely true and it's truly sad that you cannot accept the truth.
Um...no. He release EVERY FUCKING PIECE of information he had. The fact that he gave it to news outlets doesn't make it ok. I don't pay the fucking news outlets to guard my country's secrets. In fact, I would have to assume that some foreign governments have already retrieved the entire treasure trove of information because news outlets aren't experts on data security. Given the leaks, the NSA doesn't appear to be either but lets not add insult to injury.
Largely inconsequential since Boeing has more work than they can accomplish in 20 years as is. Put another way, they are not even remotely hurting for money. In fact, I will probably be picking up their stock on Monday.
Every country spies (often even on their allies) and buys cheap crap from Asia so I guess every country treats every other country as an adversary or cheap source of labor and natural riches. Thanks for mentioning this largely known and useless bit of information.
Actually, Snowden is the one who damaged the economy. Everyone was fat, dumb, and happy prior to his leaks. He decided that being a whistle-blower on illegal activities wasn't good enough and released every fucking piece of information he ever got his hands on. It was unbelievably irresponsible. The ends don't justify the means but they do to Snowden.
As for "SEVERELY DAMAGING OUR ECONOMY", that remains to be seen.
It's a fine language for what it was originally designed for. It's a fucking piece of shit for what it's used for now. You have to put some serious blinders on to think otherwise. Just because you can coax it into doing what you want doesn't magically make it a good language. It's telling when there are so many pages on the web showing how to do so many basic things that other languages do easily.
Your premise seems to be that once a kid learns critical thinking, they will suddenly start making value judgments. I hate to tell you this but every kid makes value judgments about their classes regardless of having any formal training in critical thinking. I passionately HATED history as a kid. I thought learning about the past was a complete waste of my time and it was made even worse by all the rote memorization. It was only after that I learned critical thinking that I understood the value of history.
So your premise is just patently false. Additionally, most people will never go to college. The reason you see people doing and believing stupid shit all of the time is because they don't know how to process the information they are given in a logical manner and they are very easily manipulated. In fact, it's a threat to the security of the country because malevolent minds could manipulate the populace into a tyranny. Consequently, I don't think you should be able to graduate high school without having a solid grasp of critical thinking. It's not an optional skill -- it's an essential skill to becoming an adult.
It's value right now is primarily driven by speculators rather than any actual demand. And please don't compare it to gold which is something that must actually be mined and has actual real world value. They aren't even remotely the same.
Additionally, it has a fatal flaw: tax avoidance. Eventually the government will realize that it's getting screwed on taxes because people are using an alternative currency and then it's game over. Businesses will be forbidden from accepting it which leaves it purely for illicit purposes (which is what it's mainly for anyway).
As an American, I completely agree with you. It's actually one of the worst books I've ever read. I do not understand the fascination with it. It should be noted that most people in the US either love it or hate it but the people who love it are very vocal.
Don't worry, the horribly sourced article is referring to enable codes -- not launch codes. The article is designed to get everyone excited over nothing.
lol...24k merchants? whoopdie-fucking-do...that's nothing. There are millions of merchants. Most merchants have never even heard of bitcoin and that's true for the general populace as well. The reason that bitcoin is at $1k right now is purely speculation. There's no other solid reason to explain it. One day the speculators will freak out and that $1k is going to drop to nothing faster than Lindsey Lohan's career.
2010 15" MBP but personally I think you're crazy to worry about the new models. Just buy one with the upgrades you want. If you need repairs, bring it into Apple. There's really no guarantee whatsoever you could repair a laptop from any manufacturer. A lot of the times the MB goes bad and you're fucked anyway.
I'm not gonna lie...your post is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. I appreciate your use of the English language. That said...
"Ah so men should be punished for being 'crude' around women, yet they should tolerate the inappropriate emotional dramacoasters and the passive aggressive, hypergamous behavior of the stereotypical modern female office worker? Yeah, fuck that."
Having worked with female developers, I haven't ever found this to to be a problem. I doubt most women could make it ad developers if their brains worked this way.
You have no idea how software development works and you can't do a simple numbers comparison like that to determine what is lean. Those sites all have radically different requirements.
Sorry bud, but the difference is blatantly obvious to anyone who isn't blind. Go look at a 55" 4k TV and come back here and tell me you can't see the difference.
I do agree that there's virtually no content and that will take a good while to change (prolly 2+ years).

I acknowledged in my post that they didn't have their shit together with data security. Regardless, two wrongs don't make a right.
Thanks to Snowden, it won't matter even if they haven't.
That's the best you can do? Everything I said was completely true. I'm sorry you can't handle it.
